The Right Profile in Hiring

Many people think that there is a perfect profile in hiring. But that is the problem, there is none. You cannot have a perfect list of the person you want to hire. But instead, what you can do is to think of a profile that fits the role you are looking to fill.

Fortunately, we already have a way to profile applicants in order to assess their professional strengths and how it will mix with the company culture that we have. This is not to determine whose profile is better but for companies to harness the possibilities and strengths of personnel to the benefit of the company.

Four Major Professional Profiles

Sometimes, this is linked to leadership skills and therefore, someone with this attribute is perfect for those roles that need to manage other people or to push a team to complete a project.

Influence

This one tells a lot about how a person can inspire other people to do their jobs. That is why, for jobs that need communication skills, people with high influence is perfect for the role. Also, these people are great in the workplace because they can easily communicate with other people, and relate to them in a level that others couldn’t.
